The Funny Parents Of Twitter On Why Sleep Is A Thing Of The Past

Parenting means losing sleep. Period. Whether it’s the horrific baby months or the terrible toddler years, kids of all ages have a way of making bedtime and the night hours a total nightmare.

Whether it’s fighting going to sleep, not staying asleep or waking with bad dreams, wet sheets and requests for a drink of water, our kids make it hard for us to sleep. And the funny parents of Twitter completely get it. Check out these hilarious tweets that illustrate perfectly why sleep is merely a pipe-dream once you have children.

1. Early birds are basically the worst.

Early bird gets the worm unless the bird is so early everything hurts and she tries to sleep on the couch while her toddler watches cartoons

You had big plans involving wine and your DVR, but guess what? Kids literally don’t give a shit. Better luck tomorrow night. And the night after that. And then again after that. Basically, abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

4. Great question.

People who clean after the kids go to sleep- when do you watch TV and get drunk?

The sooner you accept that not only are you never sleeping again, but your to-do list is all lies, the sooner you can sit with us and drink wine and stop caring. Come to the dark side. It’s better over here.

When the kids are older and dying to sleep late after years of early-morning torture, it’s your time to shine. Turn on the super loud blender, blast old-school hip-hop and revel in the glory of sweet, sweet revenge. You’ve earned it.

11. Savage.

My child is literally holding her eyes open to keep from sleeping in case you were thinking you’d get more sleep after the newborn phase.
